Walk By Faith, Not By Sight

I believe you already know God’s will for your life. It has already been revealed to you, but as Christians we reside in 2 groups: those that are waiting for God to tell them what to do with their gifts and talents, and those that are doing their gifts and talents. The ones who are waiting for God to tell them what to do are not living nor walking by faith. They are waiting for proof, waiting for that fantastic ‘it’ to happen. There is a spiritual misunderstanding with that way of living. ‘It’ has already happened to you; you just haven’t done anything with ‘it.’

Because we are told as Christians to live a life of expectancy, we also misinterpret that. We still sit and wait for life to happen to us. It’s like watching the news, we are watching what has already happened instead of being the impetus of the thing that happens. See you can be a news watcher, or you can be a news creator. 

Here is a real life example of what is being revealed to me right now by The Holy Spirit. (I’m not afraid of someone stealing my idea either because what is for me is for me, period.)













I’m doing product photography for small E-Commerce business owners. I don’t have all the equipment I need to make this a reality, however, I’m working with what I have until I have everything I need. At first I put a halt to this vision by using as the excuse that I didn’t have all the equipment I needed to make this a reality. However, I have a gift, an eye for photography and have never used Photoshop to enhance my photos. This isn’t me being braggadocios, it is me living in expectancy of Christ blessing everything I do for the edification of the kingdom using my gift of photography.  

So, I am back on the path of where Christ is leading me with the gift that He gave me. This produces action, it produces an outcome from my faith (“We Walk By Faith, Not By Sight.”) I’ve already set up an E-Commerce store for one of my photo products, now I’m doing the product photography, while still shooting photos for my store. You are curious I know, whether I’ve made any money from these ‘gifts?’  Funny you should ask that. God never said I would, He just told me to do it! This is what obedience looks like, doing what The Holy Spirit has placed on my heart without question, without asking why you’re doing it, without always expecting a financial reward.  Just do it! Just live in the moment, in the spiritual moment and left Him get the glory. 

And to end this, yes I do promote online products other than those within my gifts. The funds I earn from these efforts allow me to bless others more frequently. Yeah, that’s what I do everyday. I pray all that read this will find their own gifts and talents given to them by God. I pray they will just do it, just walk by faith not by sight and not worry about if it doesn’t work, or if they don’t make enough money.  Remember what you do now is to prepare you for greater work in the kingdom later. I ask these things in Jesus’ name, Amen.

What ExtenZe Does and Does Not There is no shortage of male enhancement products available to today's consumer. They promise everything from penis extension to boosted sex drive.

Article Writing and the Email Marketer

You have got to have an opt-in list if you are an email marketer. There simply is no other choice. After Congress passed the CAN SPAM Act and it became law in 2004, you cannot legally send bulk marketing emails without the express consent of the recipients. If you do, you will be fined heavily. The law provides fines for up to $11,000 per incident. So...there you have it! You either have an opt-in list or you will have to find another way to make a living. One of the best ways to build your opt-in list is to write and market articles. Each time an article that you have written and submitted to an article bank for use by other website owners and ezine publishers, every name on their lists are exposed to a link to your website. If the articles are good and filled with relevant information, they can produce much traffic and many new opt-in subscribers. It isn't hard to write a marketable article. Marketable articles are short...only 300 to 400 words. The key ingredients...

Are You Successful Because of God, or Is It You?

I just read this article published by Marketo, titled: "The God Complex and the Importance of Trial and Error, " written by Jason Miller, it discussed a scenario where a company which wants to make detergent discovers how using a process of trial and error. The gist of the article summizes to create the theory which states do successful people have a God complex in which they refuse to believe, no matter the situation, that their way of thinking, their ideas are wrong regardless of the "complexity of the situation." Let me tell you why that article sticks out to me. I have been marketing successfully and unsuccessfully at times on the internet since 2001. I've had my super successful times as well as times when I've just plain walked away from projects. There was a period where internet marketing programs paid my bills for three years and financed lavish vacations to the Caribbean and other wonderful places many people...
